WhatsApp Business API for Indian teams with Warsaw on the line

A daily flight joins Warsaw and New Delhi, and Indian IT firms employ more than 10,000 people in Poland. Their clients write back in Polish.

Poland is India's largest trading and investment partner in Central and Eastern Europe, and a daily flight joins Warsaw and New Delhi. The Warsaw end writes in Polish, keeps Central European time and expects to have said yes before any offer.

For Indian IT firms, travel operators, admissions teams and brands with clients, travellers and students in Warsaw: how a +48 message differs from a +91 one in rate, language, consent and clock, and how a team in India can answer Warsaw from one number.

A +48 number is not a +91 number

The same order update, sent from India to a customer in Warsaw and to one in Pune. Compare what changes between them.

Poland's electronic communications law, the PKE of 12 July 2024, asks for prior consent before commercial information reaches someone through a messaging service; the Poland guide explains Article 398 and why it reaches company contacts too.

The rest is ordinary InfiQ: templates sent from your systems through the developer API or as scheduled broadcasts, and replies from Warsaw collected in the shared team inbox.

India and Poland, in the Embassy's figures

From the Embassy of India in Warsaw and the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Bilateral trade grew from US$1.95 billion in 2013 to US$6.36 billion in 2025, an increase of 192%.[2]

The Embassy calls Poland India's largest trading and investment partner in Central and Eastern Europe; Indian investments there are valued at over US$3 billion.[2]

Around thirteen Indian IT companies, employing more than 10,000 professionals, are active in Poland; TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL Technologies are among the Indian investors named.[2]

The Indian community is estimated at about 30,000, and some 3,500 Indian students study at Polish universities.[2]

India and Poland raised their relations to a Strategic Partnership during the Prime Minister's visit of 21–22 August 2024, which included an address to the Indian community in Warsaw.[2],[1]

The Warsaw Stock Exchange describes itself as the biggest financial instruments exchange in Central and Eastern Europe, with about 1,000 domestic and international issuers.[3]

A square in Ochota named for an Indian ruler

In Warsaw's Ochota district there is a Square of the Good Maharaja. The monument there, unveiled in October 2014, honours the Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, who took in more than 1,000 Polish refugees, mainly children, during the Second World War; another 5,000 found refuge at the Valivade camp near Kolhapur.

The link between Warsaw and India is older than outsourcing. Today it runs through software delivery centres, universities and a daily flight, and the messages that travel along it are mostly practical: a release note, an offer letter, a boarding time.

Those messages leave India on a clock that does not change, for a city whose clock does. Warsaw moves an hour forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October, so the gap is four and a half hours in winter and three and a half in summer. InfiQ's own support desk works India time, in English and Hindi.
